Find the Right Hospice Care in Lafourche Parish
About 20 hospices currently serve Lafourche Parish, including 3 nonprofits and 1 with a dedicated inpatient facility. Use this list to compare options and talk with the hospices that feel right for your family. Lafourche Parish is wider than Thibodaux. Families often leave Thibodaux Regional Health System in Thibodaux, then go home to Raceland, Lockport, Larose, or Golden Meadow. Houma is in Terrebonne Parish, a half hour east. Highway 1 and Highway 308 follow Bayou Lafourche. Use the Thibodaux page when the home is inside that city. Use this parish page when the address is another community in Lafourche Parish, or when someone may leave a hospital for a home that is not in that city. Ask which team would send the first nurse to that street after the discharge desk closes. A Thibodaux team is not automatically a team for the lower bayou.
We are a free, independent resource created by healthcare professionals to help Louisiana families navigate hospice and end-of-life decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hospices in Lafourche Parish
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Lafourche Parish?
No. A hospital or physician can share names they work with often. You may still compare any Medicare-certified hospice that will come to the patient’s address. Calling for information does not enroll you.
Should we contact more than one hospice about Lafourche Parish?
Yes. Compare who covers the exact address, how soon a nurse can get there, and who answers after hours. A referral is a starting point, not a requirement to use one brand.
Can hospice care be provided at home in Lafourche Parish?
Yes. Most hospice care happens where the patient already lives — a house or apartment, or assisted living, memory care, or a nursing facility. Ask the team to confirm that specific address, not only the city or county name.
How quickly can hospice start in Lafourche Parish?
When hospice is medically appropriate, many teams begin within about 24–48 hours, and some can start the same day when staffing allows. Ask who comes first and how a night call is handled. Then verify by phone.
Does a Thibodaux team cover Golden Meadow?
Do not assume so. Ask whether the team would send a nurse that far south at night.
Is Houma part of Lafourche Parish?
No. Houma is in Terrebonne Parish.

- What happens if symptoms cannot be managed at home
- Medicare quality and family-experience information on each profile
Where hospice care happens in Lafourche Parish
Most hospice in Lafourche Parish happens at home or in a care facility. A short inpatient stay is for symptoms that cannot be managed in the house. Ask which bed they would use, and how far a nurse drives at night.
Local considerations for Lafourche Parish families
Lafourche Parish stretches from Thibodaux south along Bayou Lafourche to the Gulf. The lower end is a long drive at night, and storm closures change the route.
Ask where the nurse lives and whether the team has staff on the lower bayou. Say the street and the parish when you call, and confirm that Houma is a different parish.
When you are comparing, it often helps to:
- Thibodaux has its own page
- Thibodaux Regional is in Thibodaux
- Raceland and Lockport are different drives
- Larose and Golden Meadow are long night drives
